Likelihood of getting tourney bid?

[Marquette4life]

What games are must wins to get into the tourney. Could we get in with 19 wins?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

10-8 gets us in. That requires 5-5 from here on out. Anything better is gravy.

Hardest part of the schedule is behind us. At this point, find anything less than 11-7 unlikely.

Do you ever post anything other than inane questions that are already being discussed in other thread??

To answer the title: high.

[TallTitan34]

Win at DePaul, both St Johns, and home against Providence and I think we are good.

Lose one of those then beat one of Xavier, Creighton, or Butler to make up for it.

All starts this Sat.  One game at a time.

I agree with this analysis

Team Rankings puts it at 83 percent FWIW.

Even the road games against DePaul, SJU, and Prov wont be gimmes...if MU starts climbing into the top 3 of the Big East they will have a target on them.

We need one more than that. But I'm pretty confident that we get it.

MU needs to go at minimum 5-5 the close out the regular season. If they can't do that, they don't deserve to be in anyway.

[UticaBusBarn]

Just beat Providence!

As soon as you take a game for granted chalk it up as a loss. Every game is going to be tough, I don't care who it is.

This is a good article about bubble teams from Bleacher Report. Sorry if it was already posted elsewhere...

Stock Up: Marquette Golden Eagles

Computer Resume: 14-6, RPI: 39, KP: 32, SOS: 41
Recent Games: W 102-94 at Creighton; W 74-72 vs. Villanova
Position in Monday's Bracket: No. 9 Seed

Just a few days ago, Marquette's resume epitomized the bubble as we know it. The Golden Eagles had a couple of decent wins over Georgia and Seton Hall, but they had let a few too many opportunities slip away, resulting in six losses. It was a nondescript situation where one good win could push them comfortably into the field, but one bad loss could temporarily remove them from the bubble conversation altogether.

Marquette chose door No. 1, and did so twice, knocking off both Creighton and Villanova in the span of three days.

Seven Golden Eagles scored in double figures in the road win over Creighton, as they shot 50 percent from three-point range and 66.7 percent from inside the arc. Were it not for the 14 turnovers, it would have been one of the most efficient offensive performances by any team this season. But that's nothing new, as Marquette has quietly had one of the best offenses this year, ranking fifth in the nation in effective field-goal percentage.

The Golden Eagles weren't nearly as lethal in the win over No. 1 Villanova—thanks in large part to starting point guard Markus Howard playing seven minutes without recording any stats other than a missed shot, two turnovers and five fouls. But just a few weeks after the Wildcats shot 14-of-23 from downtown against them, the Golden Eagles were fortunate enough to catch Villanova on one of its off nights (6-of-34).

Regardless of how the wins came, they were massive. Marquette is now 5-3 in the Big East and has already played the majority of the tough games in that schedule. Even if the Golden Eagles were to get swept by Xavier and lose home games to Butler and Creighton, winning the other conference games would put them at 11-7 and easily in the NCAA tournament.
